LIST PICK
KINKAJOUS PULSES
‘Pulses’ is the new track from electronic jazz duo Kinkajous. The London-based experimental pairing are truly groundbreaking, continually redefining their own groovy, experimental sound. This latest cut is one of their darkest releases yet, with an addictive synth and drum combo rhythm providing an unstoppable tension throughout as the texture slowly shifts, allowing strings and saxophones to lilt melodically above. They explain that ‘Pulses’ is “the most direct track we’ve ever written. It’s driven by a rhythm that we couldn’t shake, building nail-biting tension through powerful synths and echoing beneath the skin. Every beat is meant to pull you deeper.” The duo’s forthcoming album, Nothing Will Disappear, is a unique blend of ambiance and maximalism, with cinematic overtones blending with jazzy grooves and experimentalism. -Dan Peeke
